is desirable (but sometimes works fine). A notable aspect of the
problem is that running a cold tap can cause the hot taps (separate
hot and cold, not mixers) or shower temperature to increase.

Do you happen to know if this is a boiler that includes a flow regulator?

Hello John.

Apologies for delay in picking this up. I've been away.

After consulting the installation manual, it seems that the boiler does have a flow restrictor/flow regulator assembly. Do you think that these components are prime suspects for the cause of the problems that I am having?

I've just been trying to get hot bath water again, this evening. Lukewarm only, no matter what the flow rate from the tap. Downstairs, piping hot through any of the hot taps, at any flow rate.

Regards.

Terry.
